The Ramingo’s Porch – “this sadness is an ancient creature” & “White Privilege, Cops and Knees” Two Poems By Beau Blue
this sadness is an ancient creature
A year of plague,
A year of fire storms,
of the deaths of clever
friends and brothers,
of being a refugee,
of watching confused citizens,
watching the angry mob swarm.
pestilence and famine
draw differences so sharp
inequalities come glaring
into life and death relief
the mob is here to bargain
do you care
what you believe?
The Ramingo’s Porch – “While the Wind Howls” A Poem By Ken Allan Dronsfield
While the Wind Howls
Flames reflected within the cat’s eye
a glass of spirits awaits a parched soul
wool socks are warming my chilled feet
the old dog listens while the wind howls.
My teapot whistles in a shrieking pitch
inside our little cabin on a snowy night
as the loneliness wreaks of rumination
harsh stares come from my napping dog.
The pen flows smooth on a poets night;
imagination tickles the swirling mind,
as images of acute emotional darkness
seek the shadowed voice from within.
The storm rages as we huddle by the fire.
The cat now naps but, with an eye open;
a field mouse creeps on the windowsill.
My metal snow shovel falls with a clamor
and everyone jumps as the storm howls.

The Ramingo’s Porch – “Words Flow Like A River” A Poem By J. J. Campbell
words flow like a river
there are days where
my ego just wants to
lay back and let the
genius flow
that fucker thinks
this shit is easy
i just snap my fingers
and the words flow
like a river
those are the rare
occasions
the rest of the time
is stuck down there
with the scars and
pain
memories that would
make a serial killer
blush at times
